Is that a TRICK question???

Can your child be both intelligent academically and smart extracurricularly? Both well mannered and sociable? Domesticated yet fashionable? Confident and still modest; God fearing even?

My answer? YES!

I believe a child can be trained and guided to have elements of ALL these in his/her character. I believe in the concept of a well rounded child. I think it is possible to achieve this with commitment and hard work put in by a number of entities including the child, parents, school/teachers, tutors/instructors, and quite honestly, the entire community which surrounds the child.
